Oh What A Night

They sway and turn,

Then jump and skip!

They run, then pause,

While he does a flip!

A twirl, a lift,

A hop, a stomp,

And an arabesque,

And across they romp!

The way they move,

Alive and free!

So young and innocent, 

A joy to see!

They make us smile,

Then earn our tears.

They secure our laughs,

They face their fears. 

With their intensity in motion,

And their courage to fly.

They explore each emotion,

And mature before our eyes;

A child no longer on that stage,

They’re transformed by grace,

By breath, by faith. 

There’s just no limit to what they face!

With the rush of performance,

And their teachers foresight,

They confidently perform, 

Hitting the rhythm just right!

“Oh, what a night!”

Dancing Day

Well, today was long…really really long!! It’s only the first day of the four days of the dance festival. The first day!! I’m pretty sure that by Sunday I’m going to be passing out from exhaustion!! And, sadly, I’m not really joking. The competition was behind by almost 1 hour, so she was dancing around 10:00pm and we got home about 30minutes ago, around midnight. The competition is in St.Albert, so there was a long drive involved. Well, to be honest, it took less time than I thought it would, to get there. My beautiful kiddo got gold in both of today’s dances! Yay!! I really enjoy watching her dance. Actually, I enjoy watching all of the dancing. It’s incredible what some of these kids can do. Today was long though, and tomorrow will be as well. Consequently, I’m cutting this off tonight. You know me, I could ramble on forever, but, considering my eyes are bloodshot and I’m forcing them to stay open, I’m going to head to bed.  💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤

So It Begins…

I just finished cutting holes in my daughter’s jeans and using cheese grater to make them look distressed, so they don’t look “cheesy”. My 13 year old daughter’s first dance competition starts tomorrow. (I think I feel more nervous than she does – lol). She just remembered that her jeans for her hip hop costume had to have rips in them. Nothing like last minute. The dance competition is on from tomorrow until Sunday and, of course, she has at least 1 dance each day. This competition is in St.Albert at the Arden theatre. The cool thing about this one is that they are streaming the entire competition on livestream.com. So my mom and dad can watch it from their BC house. Also, my hubby will be able to watch it from home, with the other kiddos. I’m feeling all anxious and nervous for tomorrow, even though I’m just watching…I don’t think that I am the only parent who feels like this! At least I hope not!! lol Well, we have a veerryy long weekend ahead and I wanted to get to bed early. Which is obviously not happening…so I’m going to head to bed. Wish my sweet girl luck tomorrow!!

Do You Live With Passion?

Do you live with passion,

Doing the things you love?

Or does your life feel empty,

Blank, flat and always devoid of?

Do you know your purpose, 

What you’re meant to be doing?

Or do you go about your day,

With the sense God’s “booing”?

Do you follow your heart, 

Knowing where you’re headed?

Or do you stumble through your days,

Ending up where you’ve dreaded?

Is this the life you’ve dreamed of,

That you’re meant to be living?

Or do you drag your feet,

With a constant sense of misgiving?

Do you forgive yourself, 

And refuse to give in?

Because you can still figure it out,

There’s always another chance to begin!

So make a dream or vision board,

And figure it out!

The perfect thing is out there for you,

There is nothing to doubt!

The Secret And The Law Of Attraction!!

Today I finally, finally, finally watched a movie that I’ve been told, by many people on numerous occasions over the years to watch. I’ve also been told by teachers at different training seminars and events to watch this movie. Well, finally, after feeling inspired following last nights team training call, I bit the bullet and watched the damn movie. I found out that it’s on Netflix. So, since I had an afternoon to myself, with Tay at work and the other kiddos at school I watched (drumroll please…) the fantastic movie called, “The Secret!!” Wow!! Now I understand what the fuss was all about! I mean, I knew that it was about the Law of Attraction. I also knew that there were numerous “big-named” people, physicists, dr’s, author’s, philosophers, etc. etc. talking about the Law of Attraction. However, that was pretty much all that I knew ahead of time. I was always kind-of like, yah yah, the Law of Attraction, we attract what we think, yadda yadda yadda…I know all about that, but, apparently, I didn’t know much about it at all!! I believe everything that happens, happens for a reason and I truly believe that this was the perfect time for me to see this movie. Obviously I drew it to myself at this time for a reason, right?? And did you know that I can heal myself, with my MIND??? I know that I’ve blamed my mindset as a trigger for pain attacks. Right along side that is stress, yet another state of mind that can trigger attacks. If I don’t get enough sleep, I wake up tired and cranky, feeling negative and bam! here comes the pain attacks again. The power of our mind is fantastic! I truly believe this (& did prior to watching The Secret)! I wrote down some things that stood out to me, while watching, different expressions, etc. It’s fascinating to see how many big-named people throughout history used this Law. For it to work, you must believ 100%, the doubts, the nay-sayers, the hesitations, if you focus on the negative and do so regularly and repeatedly, well guess what you are attracting to yourself…? More negativity. If you spend hours and hours worrying about money, checking the bank, complaining about debt all the time, saying you’ll never be debt free, you’ll never have anything more, just lack of funds and debt debt debt, well what do you know, a new bill shows up in the mail! You just keep on having money difficulties, no change or improvement at all to your financial well-being. If, on the other hand, you think of an amount, let’s say, as in the movie, an amount of money you wish to make in the next year. “Our income will be over 150,000. This year!!” Don’t just say it though. Write it down, where you can see it. Visualize how you will feel when you’ve made this amount of money. In your mind see yourself having and living with this amount of money. What would things look like, what would they feel like. How would you feel without having to live pay check to pay check. What changes would occur. What does it feel like. Tell yourself that you already have it and feel like you do. Your thoughts and beliefs around money will, have to, change. You need to have no doubt in your mind that this is what you will make in the current year. Put up pix of things you would buy and do. Put up a pix of the amount you are going to be focusing on. Know that it is what is happening. Don’t worry about the how!!! The universe will create the how. Opportunities will present themselves to you, hints will guide you, the universe will create it for you. Don’t ignore intuitive hints, ideas, thoughts that pop into your mind, people who come into your life, situations that facilitate this new reality that you are creating. I could go on and on, but now I’m going to turn into the person telling you to watch this movie!!!

Three Hour New Coach Gameplan Webinar. 

My tummy is suddenly in revolt!! I felt so-so all day, but my tummy was fine. But for the past hour or so, it’s been nauseous and gurgling and feels crampy- yuck!! I had a pretty calm day without a lot happening, other than a 3 hour new coach gameplan webinar. I took pages and pages of notes!! There was so much helpful information. It included very usable information to hit the ground running. It made it sound much more doable than I had been feeling up until then. I had already put my mind to the idea that this is something hat I’m going to give a chance. Is it network marketing, yes. However, social media was a game changer to network marketing! There’s Facebook, there’s Instagram, there’s snap-chat, there’s Twitter, there’s Pinterest…the list goes on right? Well. The point is, it isn’t like years ago when my hubby and I were talked into being a part of Amway. I knew from the get go that I wasn’t comfortable listing 20 friends and families and selling products to them, regardless of the quality of the product! I just wasn’t comfortable at all, with the entire thing!! And I felt it in my gut the second that they started talking about it. My hubby went to one of the Amway events and he said that it felt like he’d been invited to a cult recruiting event. Very uncomfortable, to say the least!!  Super Saturday had people filled with energy and excited, but they were all just normal people. People who were in all different stages on their own health and fitness path. People that were easy to sit down to eat breakfast with, without it feeling awkward or anything. Also, the people are filled with such light and positivity, people who are easy and contagious to be around. I didn’t feel pressured or like I was surrounded by a bunch of phoneys…I like regular everyday people. Tonight’s training was just so so thorough. Gives you a place to begin and what you do from there. Ideas about creating systems, steps to follow. I haven’t met one person that I didn’t like. This community produces waves of positive energy and love and encouragement…it’s contagious and I feel like it’s out of character from what I’d normally do if you just hear that it’s a network  marketing program, because I’m just not a salesman type person, at all! When I took a two week stab at selling vacuumes, I ended up leaving a dear sweet old ladies house with a card for her granddaughter’s Mary Kay business!! I, the salesperson, left with someone else’s card…yup. I’m great at talking to people and getting to know them and getting close to them, the lady and I had a super conversation, which lead to her granddaughter…anyway, my point is, is company is crazy different! That being said, if anyone knows if they or someone they may know, would be interested in joining a free 1 week eat cleaning group or a 21 day fix (or other program) challenge kit, please let me know. So far, I don’t regret anything about this company: buying the challenge kit(s), becoming a coach, buying nummy and healthy shakeology, nothing. All my experiences have been positive. I’m feeling good about it all. But, I rambled on and I feel like yackety-yacking!!! Nice picture I leave you with!!

Super Saturday‼️‼️

Had a good, albeit long, day today. I’m feeling really tired and my face is, surprise surprise, acting up. I went to Cora’s this morning and I finally got to meet some people, in person, who I’ve met online through the 21 Day Fix, online Beachbody group.  After he small group of us met at he restaurant for breakfast, we went to the super Saturday event. They had some success stories, people talking about how they’ve built lives from the Coaching business side of things. There was an optional workout, a bunch of recognition for different levels of success that people have accomplished and, not surprisingly, they had  shakeology to drink. It was a lot of fun. I definitely was the oldest of our small group (only four of us), but it wasn’t overly obvious. They were really nice ladies and we talked and laughed and really had a good time. I got to taste the cafe latte flavoured shakes, that isn’t  yet available in Canada. I was pleasantly surprised. To be honest, I was worried that it was going to be a group of overly hyped people with that “Amway” type of phoney positivity and in your face kind-of sales people. I’m definitely glad that I went. I’m trying to learn to step outside my comfort zone and put myself out there more. At least that’s what I’m trying to do! I know that if I want to try to turn this into more of a business, rather than only being just taking car of me and my health, that I have to be willing to take some risks and just give it a go. One of the big things that they encourage is sharing your personal story with people (which I do every single day on here!!). If others see you being successful with weight loss and fitness and overcoming obstacles life likes to throw at you, it is inspiring and others want to hop on the same bandwagon. It’s something I’m starting to be a bit more comfortable with, because it focuses on helping others to find success in their own lives. Also, the products work. If you follow the program you will be successful, because they have top notch programs. These are the creators of The Insanity workout series…crazy hard, but crazy results if you stick with it!! My daughter and I are just finishing the 6th week of our Tai Chen program and I feel like we just started!! I’m going for something harder next time…baby steps right? And, I really enjoy the Tai Chi, but it’s not exactly a kick butt, cardio intense workout. However, after doing nothing for so long, it fit into my lifestyle most appropriately. My lifestyle of doing absolutely nothing that is! You can’t exactly go from hardly even functioning, to Masters Hammer and Chisel (another one of their crazy, hard core, workout kits!) I won this workout series in the first group that I participated in and it looks crazy hard! Anyway, I’m just beat and I’m going to head to bed. Night all😴💤

Busy Day

It’s so late and I have to get to bed, because I have to get up early tomorrow. I’m going to my first Beachbody “event” called Super Saturday.  I’m excited and nervous… Everyone I’ve met, so far, have really nice. Well, I guess if we don’t count online, I’ve only met one person!! One of the girls signed us up for a “fun and friendly competition”that I’m super nervous about. I’m hoping I can get out of it. I’m not feeling comfortable about the whole idea. And the theme is based on the newest workout kit, “hard corps”!  We are supposed to be wearing camo themed clothing, which is fine and fun. I’m just not in shape to do a boot-camp type themed competition against very fit people… Honestly, it’s kind of freaking me out! I’ve been worrying about it all week. She said it’s all in fun and for all fitness levels, but I’m still feeling rather intimidated about the whole thing. I guess I should just tell her hat. She seems very sweet, I just don’t want to o upset or offend somebody I’ve not even met yet! I’m also still sick and, now, exhausted because my oldest took me and my younger daughter to the Walk Off The Earth/Marianas Trench concert tonight.  That’s why I’m up so late the night before I have to get up really early. It was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed both bands, and I knew more songs than I expected to know!! Anyway, I guess I should hit the hay, since I do have a busy day, again, tomorrow. I’m probably setting myself up for a shwack of pain…overdoing it and not getting enough sleep are both triggers for me. So I guess I’ll play it by ear in the AM…wish me luck!!

I Need A Miracle Please

What did I write yesterday?

What did I even do?

I hate when I forget things,

When I don’t have a clue!

I used to remember details,

No matter how small,

But now they slip away,

I can’t remember at all.

If I focus and think hard,

And I’m given some hints,

I can get some things back,

Or at least get a glimpse!

I look forward to the day

When they cure this disease!

Any time now God,

I need a miracle, please!

Your Destiny…

You are in charge of your destiny

Through every step you take

Through every thought you have

Through every choice you make

You are in charge of your destiny 

It’s created by your dreams

It’s created by your beliefs

It’s created by your extremes

You are in charge of your destiny 

It’s formed by your hate

It’s formed by your love

You can control your fate

So take charge of your destiny 

Thoughts, beliefs and emotions can be changed

New choices lead to new and different actions

You  can choose how your destiny’s arranged

You, and only you, are in charge of your destiny!!
